Three generations of talent hit the WNBA All-Star Game court Friday, as the league revealed the legends and up-and-comers set to compete in All-Star Weekend’s Shooting Stars.
Hall of Famer Elena Delle Donne teams up with Washington’s Shakira Austin, three-time MVP Lauren Jackson with Seattle’s Flau’jae Johnson, five-time champion Rebekkah Brunson with Minnesota’s Courtney Williams, and five-time All-Star Deanna “Tweety” Nolan with Dallas’s Jessica Shepard.
The event also spotlights young standouts from Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League, including Jezelle “GG” Banks, Ryan Carter, Tatianna Griffin, and Morghan Reckley.
Replacing the Skills Challenge of years past, the two-round showdown gives teams 70 seconds to score as many points as possible from seven locations around the court.
Shots range from layups to long-range 3-pointers, with the two highest-scoring teams advancing to the championship.
2026 All-Star honorary GMs Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon will serve as designated passers.
Shooting Stars tips off on Friday at 8 PM ET, live on ESPN.
